Eidos to Demonstrate Revenant at E3

One of the most eagerly anticipated role-playing games of 1999 will debut at E3, Eidos Interactive's
Revenant. Revenant is a fantasy RPG that immerses gamers in a visually stunning and challenging
environment with 65,000 color graphics, animated polygonal characters, and true light-sourcing and
coloring in Direct 3D. Gamers will explore shadowy catacombs and the heart of ancient temples,
and collect magic objects and cast potent spells as they battle dozens of monsters, such as
dragons and wraiths. There will be more than 40 characters to interact with and a wide variety of
weapons, spells, armor and magical items. Additionally, there will be hand-to-hand battles similar to
that in fighting games. Revenant combines adventure gaming with the exploration, character
development and longevity of an RPG. Features include:

3D polygonal models with motion captured animations
Non-linear storyline
Art from renown Canadian fantasy and science fiction illustrator Den Beauvais
